Create a Close Window Button for Your Web Pages

Create a Close Window Button for Your Web Pages
If you have links on your website which open a new
browser window when clicked, you can add a "close
window" button to the opened page so the visitor
will easily be able to close the new page.

The "Close Window" button allows your visitors to return to
the previously viewed web page by clicking a button
instead of clicking on the "X" at the top right corner of
the browser window to exit the page.

Having a button that says "Close Window" will highly
increase your return rate to the previous page. This
simple button gives the visitor little choice but to
come back to the previous page he/she was viewing. It
aids in helping you reach your goal with your visitors
and building an effective website presentation.

When your viewers click on the "Close Window" Button at
your site after viewing a newly opened window, they
will be returned to the previously viewed web page.

This prevents awkwardness for beginners who may be
visiting your website. You'd be surprised at how
many online viewers still don't know how to close
browser windows and open up new ones. Or, they may
not realize a new browser window opened.
Guidance on a website is EVERYTHING.

The CODE:

Insert the following code "as is" directly into your
web page html using copy and paste where you would
like to position your "Close Window" button on your
web page:

---Begin Code---

<form method="post">
<input type="button" value="Close Window"
onclick="window.close()">
</form>

--- End Code---


I realize that I take many things for granted online
because I've been surfing the net a while and designing
web pages also. However, there are many beginners online
who don't know the first thing about surfing the
net.

Keep this in mind while designing your website and create
an easy-to-navigate, simple site that beginners will
appreciate.
